Welcome aboard bro. Do it right and it will be one of the toughest 12 weeks of your training. But you'll gain more mass than you ever have in the past. Diet and rest key, just as much as the pump. Kill it bro!

Today is chest & tris for me - let's get this ball rolling!

[rbowman91]

Today is chest & tris for me - let's get this ball rolling!

Chest and tri's was one of the most intimidating days for me at first. This is because i HATE lowering weight on my bench, which is what I had to do at first in order to get the full 8+4 with good form. But in HRT it's not about poundages, its about getting that form right and doing the work to make your guns/pecs grow. Go kill it bro.

[RIOSHOWTIME2]

Welcome!!!!! Diet and rest are the hardest parts! Get the work done,no excuses and duke it out. You will be pleased with the end result!!

[Tommyobrien]

Sub'd man, can't wait to see your progress! Love the dedication too

[Elliot18]

Cheers everyone for subbing going to be one hell of a journey! back from me weekend traveling got some cardio in over the weekend multi vitamins still havent arrived so went out and bought some replacements haha until they come. Now to wait for tomorrows hell raiser in the gym!

PS: not sure how to quote multiple people at once :s

Nutrition
Nutrition is going well so far keeping up to date with my macros getting in the right amount of carbs protein etc just costly but will be worth it in the long run.

Tomorrow Wheels lets hit it!

[rbowman91]

There's definitley no shame in bumping down your poundages when you start HRT. having to lower your weights initially probably means your doing the form correctly. kill it bro!

[huafist]

That's awesome bro! I'll post my log for the day after I get back from the gym tonight. I may be able to before I go to the kung fu school, but I may not have the time until afterwards.

[Elliot18]

Ye first session didnt lower the poundage and felt that form went out the window abit so lowered this week and fellt so much better Cheers Bro!

HuaFist - Ill be checking your log out to bro once i get back from stuff i got to do tonight had a early sesh today so posted early hehe

[Elliot18]

Week 1 180 Pounds
Week 2 177 Pounds

Great 3 pound loss in the first week may have been due to the crap i have cut out my diet. Hopefully the weight will drop again roughly 2 pounds a week to get my goal after 12 week !

Nutrition
Nutrition today took a hit i must say had the usual routine for my diet plan however come to dinner i was horribly sick after my meal not sure if its due to new supplements i have? going to lower the dose of my creatine as i thought the stomach ache could be caused by it but not sure going to play it by ear Just hoping its not going to happen again
